Highwayman Stories

Time Carriages are strictly forbidden. They are dangerous, unstable, and cultivate in severe mishandling of time travelling. Shut down for good by the Time Lords, a planet has reopened a large network across the universe. The callous, war-like race the Oripiccini have been able to spread their armies across the galaxy for their evil conquest and subjugation of other life forms for the greater good of their war effort. They have indeed been assisted by a villainous Time Lord, a meddler who has already had previous battles against the Doctor... Leaving from Nerva Beacon to return to Earth, the TARDIS passes through an active Time Carriage and trace the source of the controlled operations of unauthorised pathways through time and space. Another group has arrived on the planet in order to stop the foolish experiments with Time Carriages, bitter enemies of the Oripicinni sworn on justice for the crimes they have committed. Will the Doctor and his friends all be able to work together and prevent the catastrophies to the fabrics of the universe of time before the cosmos falls into the hands of the Oripiccini? Based on the original BBC TV series. A CaptainThunderWho Century 22 Production.

Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.

This is intended as an extending collection, in no particular order, of those longer poems that I have liked. As for my 'Short Poems I Like', their truth is in their beauty, if not always in their sense or sentiment.

في الغرب الامريكي حيث تقع بلدة لا تظهر على الخريطة لكن راسخة في عقول من زارها، Red Hollow البلدة التي كانت معروفة بصوت حوافر الاحصنة و الضحكات العالية المختلطة بصوت قرع الكؤوس ببعضها، عند الغروب وقف الاعداء و هما يوجهان مسدسا على جبين بعضهما و الفائز من تصل رصاصته اسرع. Red Hollow حيث رائحة البارود و صوت الهرمونيكا و شعور حارق كشمس الغروب بتاريخ: 27/05/2025 بقلم: 𝓜𝓮𝓵𝓹𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓮

Denny, Licia, Miguel and I had been kidnapped by a press gang and forced aboard His Majesty's Ship Curious, a 20 gun sailing frigate. (Book 4 Undercover Curiousers). When the ship ran aground, we escaped, but, in 1778, the British Royal Navy hung deserters. The only way we could avoid this fate was to find work in the copper and tin mines at the far south west of England. These mines were essential to the war against the French navy and employees were exempt from military service. On the way west, we fought off some highway men and joined up with the famous British engineer James Watt. He was heading for one of the mines to repair a steam engines used to prevent the mine from flooding. Our carriage driver got lost along the way and we discovered that the locals were suspicious of all foreigners and not at all helpful. While Denny was helping Mr Watt to repair his steam engine at the Ting Tang mine, Licia, Miguel and I found out that the local mechanic had been sabotaging the engine. The local coal merchants feared the loss of sales (because Mr Watt's engine was more efficient) and were paying him to make the engine burn more coal. We tricked the saboteurs to prevent them damaging the engine and Mr Watt successfully demonstrated that the engine rapidly lowered the water level in the mine and, as a by-product, supplied more water to drive the waterwheel and trip hammers used to process the tin ore. Dr Zhang found us and we returned to Plymouth narrowly avoiding a troop of red-coats searching for highway men and . . . deserters. Back in Ottawa we discovered someone had destroyed Oppy's software and were trying to bomb the electric bookcase.
